Money matters

Are you having trouble making ends meet or are you worried about money, for example because you lost your job or because you and your partner broke up? Are you worried about money because of high energy prices, the benefits scandal or something else? Or do you find it difficult to get an overview of your administration?

Frequently Asked Questions

We would like to look at your income and expenditure with you. Together we will ensure more insight into your finances. We will also investigate together what is needed to prevent arrears in payments or debts.

Even if you have huge debts and can no longer pay your rent or mortgage, for example, we are happy to help you. Together with you and debt counselling, we look at how you can become permanently debt-free.    

Of course you are most welcome at the neighbourhood team, but the municipality of Utrecht is also happy to help you. For that, look at the following website pages: 

The municipality of Utrecht has a special arrangement for young people with debts who want to work on their future. One of the options offered by the municipality is that the municipality will pay off your debts in full to the creditors. You then pay a monthly amount to the municipality and pay off your debt in this way. Want to know if you can use this? Look at the website of the municipality of Utrecht
